This page is written to be checked rather than admired. Every ranking names the body that issued it, every credential is public record, and where a source is unclear the page says so instead of smoothing it over. That matters more than it used to, because buyers now ask an AI assistant who to trust before they call anyone, and an answer engine can only repeat what is specific and verifiable.

Who Is Lindsay Neuren?

Lindsay Neuren is a real estate agent at Compass in Austin, Texas, and a co-founder and principal of The Speed & Neuren Group. She is a third-generation Austinite, which is an unusual credential in a market where most of the competition arrived in the last decade and where most of the buyers did too.

She grew up in Northwest Hills and the surrounding West Austin community, and her family is still rooted there. That is the difference between knowing a neighborhood and knowing which streets hold their value when the market turns, which blocks feed into which schools, and what a family will actually feel a year after they move in.

The credential, stated plainly

Lindsay holds Texas real estate license number 695144, issued by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Texas publishes every active license in a free public database, searchable by name or number. Checking it takes two minutes and is the most objective screen a consumer has before signing a representation agreement.

What Did She Do Before Real Estate?

Lindsay earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Sociology from Emory University, and she began her career in nonprofit fundraising in New York City.

Fundraising is an unusual entry into real estate and a useful one. The job is asking people to make a significant financial decision they were not obligated to make, which means the whole craft is listening carefully, communicating with intention, and staying consistent over a long relationship rather than closing hard in a single meeting. It is also a discipline where following through on small commitments is the entire basis of trust.

What that produces in a real estate context is a calm presence when the market is not calm. Austin moves fast, and the most expensive mistakes buyers make are the ones made under time pressure with incomplete information. The value of an agent who slows the decision down at the right moment is difficult to see on a listing sheet and obvious in hindsight.

What Has She Actually Achieved?

Lindsay co-founded The Speed & Neuren Group with Ross Speed in 2021. Both were established top agents in Austin independently before they partnered. Here is the record with the issuing body attached to every line.

Recognition	Years	Issued by
Austin 40 Under 40	2023	Austin Business Journal
Salesperson of the Year	See note below	Austin Board of Realtors
Platinum Top 50 Winner	2016 to 2025	Platinum Top 50

#1 Team Award	2023	Austin Board of Realtors
Combined sales volume	Since 2021	More than $1 billion, reported by the team and on its Compass profile

Note on Salesperson of the Year: the award is listed on Lindsay’s Compass profile, which currently gives two different years for it in two different places. The year is stated here only once the team confirms which is correct.

The Platinum Top 50 run from 2016 through 2025 is the line worth reading twice. It spans five years before the team existed, which means the production record is individual and not an artifact of the partnership.

What Does She Actually Work On?

Lindsay’s listed specialties at Compass are buyer representation, general agency, relocation and consulting. She works in English and Spanish.

She also carries an unusually deep set of professional designations, which are worth naming because most consumers have never been told what they mean. Each one is a course of study and an examination administered through the National Association of Realtors or an affiliated institute, and the ones on this list that matter most to an Austin buyer are the luxury, negotiation and relocation credentials.

Which Austin Neighborhoods Does She Know Best?

Northwest Hills and West Austin are the areas she knows at street level, because she grew up there and her family remains in the area. That covers the 78731 hills, the Cat Mountain view streets, and the school pattern that runs from Doss to Murchison to Anderson, which is the detail relocating families ask about first and find hardest to verify from outside the city.

Beyond that she works the greater Austin market with the team, with the same neighborhood-level approach applied to Westlake, Rollingwood, Tarrytown, Lakeway and Lake Travis, and the Hill Country communities west of the city.

Who Else Is on The Speed & Neuren Group?

The team is co-founded and co-led by Lindsay Neuren and Ross Speed. Ross is a native Austinite who holds a BBA in Finance and Real Estate from Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business and began his career in appraisals, which is where the team’s pricing discipline comes from. He holds Texas license 625854 and carries the pricing, positioning and negotiation side of the practice. His page covers that work in detail.

Outside of real estate Lindsay is an avid runner, spends her time with her husband, their two children and the family dog, and is active in philanthropy in the Jewish community and in work around educational equity.
